Arena Conflict, Li Fei Critically Hits Angelina Jolie!

The second quarter began.

As expected, the Heat changed their strategy. Possession was now almost entirely concentrated in the hands of Tim Hardaway and Alonzo Mourning, their inside-out duo.

Hardaway, the superstar point guard famed as the "Godfather of the Crossover," used his lightning speed and bizarre changes of rhythm to attack the Knicks' paint again and again behind Mourning's solid screens.

Their tactical intent was crystal clear: use pick-and-rolls to target the aging Sabonis and tear open the Knicks' interior defense.

On their first possession, Hardaway succeeded. A beautiful behind-the-back dribble shook off his defender, and when he faced the switched Sabonis, one burst of speed was enough to blow past him for an easy layup.

Just as the ball was about to drop into Mourning's hands, a massive shadow burst in from the side!

A dull, thunderous impact rang out!

Li Fei's enormous palm viciously swatted the basketball away in midair as though he were smacking a fly! The ball shot out of bounds like a cannonball, crashing into the advertising boards.

Madison Square Garden erupted instantly!

In the front row by the court, Angelina Jolie sprang from her seat in excitement. One hand covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes
